What you will do:

At Stryker, we are revolutionizing the way orthopaedic implants and robotic procedures are designed and implanted with industry leading modeling and simulation technologies. We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Engineer to apply and develop innovative simulation methodologies to characterize and optimize next generation implant designs, processes, and surgical procedures, as part of an expanding Modeling and Simulation team.  

As the Senior Engineer, you must be able to demonstrate an ability to execute the following functions: 

• Perform detailed literature searches to provide a basis for analytical methods and assumptions. 

• Execute static and dynamic nonlinear multibody finite element analyses that include deformable contact, advanced material properties and multi-physics required for realistic simulation of physical testing, in vivo kinematics and manufacturing process. 

• Develop new simulation techniques and implement automation using custom programming when required. 

• Evaluate analytical results and recommend design, process, or material changes based on characterization. 

• Collect comprehensive physical testing, manufacturing and clinical data to develop and validate simulation models following the latest industry standards. 

• Demonstrate refined technical report writing external publication writing skills.  Author reports necessary for 510(k) submission, abstracts to orthopaedic industry related conferences, and articles for peer reviewed journals. 

• Contribute on cross-functional teams to develop next generation technologies and devices. 

• Become familiar with relevant aspects of competitive technologies to develop innovative solutions to satisfy customer needs. 

What You Need:

Must Have:

Experience: 3+ years of experience with modeling & simulation-based research (FEA) in the medical device industry, or equivalent. 

 Preferred Skills

• Experience with finite element analysis (e.g. ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-Dyna), CAD (e.g. Pro/Engineer, Solidworks), custom programming (e.g. Fortran subroutine, Matlab, Python), and other analytical based research tools. Experience with musculoskeletal simulation packages (e.g. OpenSim).  

• Ability to contribute to complex discovery-based research initiatives from concept through final recommendation. 

• Understanding of mechanics, engineering principles, new technology, and product development processes. 

• Strong interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills and demonstrated track of having worked in a global team setup.

• Ability to deliver aspects of innovative, analytical, process, or material solutions in the research arena.

Minimum Qualifications (Required):
Education: B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech/M.S in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace  or Biomedical Engineering

Travel Percentage: None
